Advocate program seeks volunteers for abused children

The Reno-based Court Appointed Special Advocate program is seeking volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children in family court proceedings. Currently, more than 950 local and state programs have committed to ensuring all children living in foster care have volunteers who will fight for and protect their right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect and to learn and grow in a loving family.

CASA volunteers get to know the child they are appointed to by talking to everyone in the child's life, including parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, social workers, counselors and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges about the child's needs.

Volunteers must be 21, complete a 40-hour preservice training program and undergo a thorough background screening.

Details/application: 775-328-3298.
